Brooke Hogan<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s husband, Steven Oleksy<\/strong>, shared a tribute to late father-in-law Hulk Hogan<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s with mixed emotions that I write this post,\u201d Oleksy, 39, captioned an Instagram post<\/a> on Tuesday, August 5. \u201cWhile I may not have been part of the journey from the very beginning, I was fortunate to witness the kind of love my wife had for you \u2014 a love so powerful it set a bar I can only hope to reach as I begin my own journey as a father to our daughter.\u201d<\/p>\n Oleksy called his wife\u2019s love for her dad \u201cdeep, unwavering, and beautifully raw\u201d despite her and Hulk having a tumultuous relationship<\/a>. (The father-daughter duo were estranged for years. Us Weekly<\/em> confirmed last month that Brooke had written herself out of Hulk\u2019s will<\/a>.)<\/p>\n \u201cThrough good times and bad, she loved you with everything she had. Her mission in life was to protect you. That kind of love doesn\u2019t fade,\u201d the caption continued. \u201cI feel we left a lot of conversation on the table and many questions unanswered. And while I try to understand that, I thank you \u2014 for blessing me with a wife whose love and loyalty can\u2019t be bought, and whose strength has made me stronger than I ever thought possible.\u201d<\/p>\n Oleksy hopes that his daughter, Molly Gene, will love him like Brooke loved Hulk. (Oleksy and Brooke welcomed fraternal twins<\/a> Molly Gene and Oliver Andrew this past January.)<\/p>\n \u201cAs I told you in one of my last text messages, no one in Brooke\u2019s life can replace you. But my promise to you is this: I will love, care for, and protect your daughter with everything I have,\u201d he added. \u201cI will honor you by giving her my love\u2014fully, fiercely, and endlessly. And I will always work to make you proud.\u201d<\/p>\n Oleksy\u2019s caption concluded with, \u201cTo my father-in-law: Until the next Chop. You will be forever in our hearts.\u201d<\/p>\n
